Discussion of implications of Description of the
socioeconomic environment setting:
• Identification of the critical socioeconomic factors:
Identification of those socioeconomic impacted area
that Represents critical items relative to the human
Environment.
• Prediction of changes in socioeconomic factors:
Quantitative or at least qualitative description of
changes.

• A possible major concerns for many action is
their potential impact on cultural resources.
• Cultural resources: Architectural, historical,
and archaeological sites, as well as areas of
unique importance because of their
ecological, scientific, or geological
information
• “Preserve important historical, cultural and
natural aspects of our national heritage”

• Possible on cultural impact resources are:
Inundation, destruction, or disturbance
• The sphere of the cultural resources includes
not only the precise limits of project area, but
also the surrounding lands.
• Cultural resources management may involve
consideration of the potential impacts of the
proposed projects activities on the various
components constituting a society’s cultural,
including historical and archeological
resources.

• Identify known cultural resources in the area
of interest
• Identify the potential cultural resources in the
area of interest
• Determine the significance of known
potential cultural resources relative to local,
regional and nation basis
• Delineate possible impacts of alternatives on
known and potential cultural resources in the
area of interest. Impacts should be
determined for preconstruction, construction
an, operation and postoperation phases

• No effect( neither harmful or beneficial) , No
adverse effect( there would be effect but the
effect would not harmful), Adverse effect
• Depending upon the findings of step 3 and 4
either(a) proceed with the selection of one
proposed action from the alternatives or (b)
eliminate one or more alternatives and then
proceed with selection of the proposed
action
• Develop procedures that will be used during
construction phase in the case of previously
unidentified cultural resources.

• MITIGATION MEASURES
• Limiting the magnitude of the undertaking.
• Modify the undertaking through redesign,
reorientation of construction on the project
site, or other similar changes.
• Preservation and maintenance operations for
involved historic properties
• Preservation and maintenance operations for
involved historic properties

• MITIGATION MEASURES
• Documentation of building, structures that
must be destroyed or substantially altered
• Relocation of historic properties
• Salvage of archaeological or architectural
information and materials.
Proper attention should be given to cultural
resources in conjunction with project
planning and decision making.

• The importance of health impact considerations in
the project planning have been stressed by the
WHO.
• Short term health effect and long term health impact
• The need for an HIA should be determined based on
input from regulatory agencies, other pertinent
organistions, and the general public, and on
professional knowledge and judgment of the EIA
study preparers.

• Does the nature of the proposed project (or activity)
involve the handling of or emissions to the
environment of materials such as physical,
chemical, radiological. Biological nature may be
harmful to human health?
• Is the location of the proposed project, together with
nature, likely to give rise to conditions that would
alter the occurrence of natural hazards in the study
area?
• Could the implementation of the proposed action
eventually give rise to conditions that would reduce
or increase the number of adverse health impact
causing factors?

• Mitigation through control of sources
Preventing or limiting the introduction
into the environment of the health impact
causing agents.
• Mitigation through control of exposure
• Mitigation through health-services
development
Implementation of the health education
programs, or the development of health
impact prevention and health care systems

MMOONNIITTOORRIINNGG OOFF HHEEAALLTTHH IIMMPPAACCTTSS
• Document health impacts that might
result from proposed action
• Review and validate impact prediction
techniques, Evaluate the effectiveness
of implemented mitigation ensures
• Enable a more accurate prediction, in
the future, of health impacts associated
with similar actions
